The Labubu CrazeLabubu grins, a curious work of art,
Kasing Lung’s dream, brought forth from the heart.
Pop Mart displays, collecting carts start,
Lisa’s embrace gives trends a new chart.
People of faith, consider your part,
Not every craze should capture your heart.
Fame’s shining lure can pull us apart,
Discernment and wisdom must always take part.
Enjoy what...

We Take Things For GrantedEvery breath you take isn't good to take lightly
Every near death experience teaches that slightly
We're shown love from our friends and families constantly in every way
We take their presence for granted thinking they'll be there everyday
We take our five senses for granted and don't view them as gifts
We live life like its guaranteed...

Gboko Gives ChaseIn Gboko, where the dust motes dance and play,
A town, a city, a people, some would say.
What defines its spirit, a riddle, a quest,
With a gait too familiar, putting all to the test.
"Gboko!" he calls, by name, with a grin,
"Seems we're acquainted, where have you been?"
For here, familiar strangers, a curious clan,
Know each other better...

Echoes: Veils of UncertaintyA silver bird departs, the sky serene,
Yet morning’s promise shatters in a breath;
Ash falls where laughter and bright hopes had been,
A city mourns the sudden hand of death.
In distant hills, a traveler’s path grows cold,
A journey meant for dreams, now left undone;
The news arrives—too heavy to be told—
A vanished step, a race that’s never run.

Cheers!If painless,
enjoy the blessed
moment:
Like Icarus I crave
the brilliant soar,
back to earth~ the
inevitable fall…
enjoy the moment
free
before the sudden stop…
meet me, somewhere
between the top and
bottom of the flop
I’m buying – no strings
attached.......

Jaymee's Version: thanK you, aIMee, For Taking it Down, I Guess
it's as good an apology
as I'll ever get. Red-handed
is a hard spot to be,
but you deleted it quick.
Although it had been there
since March of '24,
which just means your speed
was relative to matters of impending
consequence, not conscience.
Rest assured as inertia, I think you got it
before anyone could clock the line...

For the StoryLike a dog digging bone, I hunt stories
Write orgies from words known
With syntax like old men's drone
And metaphors overblown

Broken NailsThese broken nails
Not pretty to look at,
My triumphs, my fails
Mean more than that
Been scratching away
Digging for some end,
By night, by day …
‘Til they begin to bend
Once polished to a shine
… Is perfectly cracked,
With pulled hair of mine
And my nerves wracked
All glitter, all gold …
Neither one can stay,
But, broken nails, I'm told
Says something anyway.

Jade Stone's :::Vanity:::Let he who is without vanity cast the first insult
Vain to me smacks of superficialities which
in the long run prove fragile and meaningless
You can be proud of your accomplishments
without worries of being vain
Lose your hair, lose your teeth, lose your looks,
lose your vanity
Fashion statements
Youth
Dress-up make-up
Forsooth
A little vanity never hurt...

Jade Stone's :::Confidence:::She laughs, she cries, then she sighs
brimming with confidence,
the pain within she denies
Her heart thumps then skips a beat,
as she reads poetry, a taste of bittersweet
In quiets empty moments, a hole
remains deeply in the soul,
an abyss, an unmeasured chasm
It’s the space p~o~e~t~r~y fills
Her personal dead poet society
stirring her deepest passions
awakens her dormant...

I can't compete with your vanity
You spent an hour in the mirror—
I spent an hour in the bar.
Your lipstick’s a death sentence
I don’t want to serve.
I walk through these rooms,
thinking of small deaths,
wishing I had the nerve
to pack up and leave.
You think I envy your silk shirts,
your hair that floats like smoke.
But I have my own ruin to feed
with whiskey...

The Person I've BecomeMirror, mirror on the wall,
tell me the truth, tell me all.
The passing of youth,
and of dreams young.
Reverence for the truth,
songs of the heart, freely sung.
I see the happy days of innocence,
the fond memories of childhood.
The unquestioned acceptance
of all things pure, all things good.
Mirror, mirror on...

TemptationFlames that ignites
bright red at its core,
ravenous hunger linger
overwhelmed by its
hot desire and through
the night it burns,
its visible heat scorches
the skin of its next victim,
leaving a mark of sole
ownership, it kisses
endearingly seducing
in enchantment,
torturous feeling reigns
in a field of thrones caused
by a leakage of subtle
attraction,
a rose in its prime curves
and twists along these...
